I'm having the exactly same issue with both D2 and LoD.

A buddy of mine dug out his old WC3 CD Keys and he had the exact same problem..

Then I asked if that was the set that his dumbass got banned for maphack and sure enough it was.

I dont think you can register a CD Key that was banned from Bnet.
 
Maybe I should finally give StarCraft a whirl. I loved WarCraft II and barely dabbled in WarCraft III. I completely missed StarCraft.
 
I still can't buy the digital distribution version of Diablo 2 from the store. I keep getting an error that says "your transaction cannot be processed at this time."

ANYONE else having this irritating problem?

EA and Blizzard need to abandon their garbage DD stores.

Call me when Steam works on macs. Until that's the case, the blizzard store is still required.

Hey I just downloaded diablo 2 with expansion, do I have to be online while I play and will it still work for lan?

I also registered my starcraft cdkey and see that I could get a digital of the apple computer version, my friend wants to try this so could he use my login details and put it on his mac with no kind of horse shit involved?

Well, now it works! Just out of the blue, all my keys worked! Wierd shit...

So, my situation was that I digged up an old Diablo battechest, just to find the box with nothing but LoD left in it =(
I desided to buy D2 from DD, and just add LoD...

Well, now I'm stuck at "Not available" at Diablo 2, same as Won!
Thats so silly! I added SC, WC3, WC3X, LoD, and purches D2... I have every CD right here except D2, and D2 is the only one thats not available for download!?

Blizz really need to get thisone together before I'm convinsed! Spendt way too much time and money here allready! >=(

Tell me if you solve your issue, will ya Won?

Too bad Diablo II digital download doesn't work on the new macbook pros.

It doesn't? My old copy of diablo 2 works. Why not the new digital download??

I'm quoting myself for the new page:

Why would I bother running Diablo 2 Windows in bootcamp when Diablo 2 can run natively in OSX. That is retarded.
 
Oh shit! I had no idea that Blizz was accepting our ancient CD-keys as valid licenses for direct download!

I just busted out my dusty boxes and registered:
D2
D2 LoD
WC3
WC3 FT
SC
SC BW

Hell, I didn't even know I OWNED SC. For the past 2 years, I've been telling people that I didn't. I must have picked up the SC Battle Chest real cheap somewhere, but I clearly never played it, as the box wasn't open! Hahahaha. So cool!

Edit - Oh. Pity, they won't accept WoW or WoW BC...

Edit 2 - Wow. I think my copy of D2 is European, as I was living in Israel at the time. It allowed me to register it as a US copy though. Awesome sauce.
 
Mmmm

Why doesn't blizzard send me an validation email to my account? i've been wating since yesterday...

Maybe because it is gmail? this is a nonsense :S

One of these things is not like the other.

EA's DD store certainly is "garbage", but Blizzard's? By registering your CD-key, the game is tied to your account forever, and there's unlimited downloads, with no DRM on, using an open distribution system (BitTorrent).

Yeah I'm not sure what is up with that, I downloaded Diablo II via Blizzard's online store onto my Intel iMac and had no problems. Runs flawlessly.
 
This is seriously irritating me. is anyone OUTSIDE of Japan having a problem completing a transaction to purchase anything Diablo related digitally?

My keys are finally registering (although Diablo 2 shows up as "not available", wtf) so maybe your problem has been fixed as well?

If it was fixed, I wouldn't be asking the question in the forum, would I?

My European account still says "Not Available", so I registered a new US account and downloaded the game that way.

I had to "add game" with the key from my European account, it showed an error, then displayed it anyway on the Games page. It even let me download the correct language (enGB).

How do you register a US account? Every time I try to go to the US Blizzard page I get redirected back to eu.blizzard.com.

EDIT: actually, if you still have the enGB Blizzard downloader file, could you just upload that somewhere and give me the link? That'll save me waiting until they fix this "not available" issue.

EDIT2: nevermind, that thingy with changing the account preferences worked.

Some people on the Battle.net forum had that problem as well

This part is true. The website gets redirected based on the browser's language settings

I kept getting redirected until I removed all cookies for *.blizzard.com. Now I can get to http://us.blizzard.com/

I had 26 blizzard cookies for some raisin
 
So three days now without a verification mail. Even tried to change to another e-mail.

Contacting the support does nothing, gj Blizz.
 
I uploaded the blizzard downloader files, but if anyone wants them private message me (just because once those links are on Google my file sharing place will get hammered)
 
OK, for future reference and to save people reading that whole battle.net thread here is what I did to make it work:

Log in to Blizzard account normally.
Go to Preferences.
Change language to "English (US)".
Save Preferences.
Closed the page.
Went to browser language settings and changed it from "British English (en-gb)" to "English (en)". ("English (en-us)" should work as well).
Went to cookies and deleted all Blizzard-related cookies.
Went to www.blizzard.com/store and was successfully able to log in and grab the game downloader.
Changed language in Blizzard account preferences back to "English (EU)".
Changed browser language back to "British English (en-gb)".
 
Has anyone encountered troubles running Diablo 2 on a intel Macbook? My version just won't start up, it pops up in the program bar, but disappears a second after.

Yeah this is a known issue on Macs with X3100 and nvidia graphics chips, apparently Apple removed some 256-color mode in the latest update of OS 10.5 or something.

WoW and BC both have digital download, and BC supports upgrading and activation through digital download. Not sure about activating WoW through DD though. but if you already have a valid WoW account created then you can DD the entire game and even grab the expansion(s) through DD.
 
While you guys may be busy downloading the games you already have, i decided to buy a book on there.

Costs £7 (approx $14) so i thought it was a good deal...

Until i found out they are charging £7.20 (about $14.50) for delivery of a soft-back 300-page book within 8-10 working days, fuck that.
 
Xeke said:
At least they support other platforms than Windows, unlike steam, can't even support others.
Yeah, that's a problem. I assume they'll address said problem once they get their Source engine ported to Linux (if it ever happens).

Of course, beyond that it's up to the developers to actually provide Linux/Mac versions.
 
Is anyone else having a CD-key length problem?

My CD's are scratched so I go to Blizzard's store and enter my CD key for Diablo II and the expansion. I download them and go to install and it's asking for a 26 character CD-key. My case only has a 16 character CD-key so it's saying it's invalid.

I put in a support request to Blizzard a couple of days ago and have no response. Anyone else having this problem and got it resolved? I'd love to hear the solution.
 
Anyone know if you register a game if the store gives you access to download either/both Mac and Windows versions of the game?
 
Minsc said:

yes. all blizzard game discs come with both the PC and Mac versions, so when you register the CD key you get access to both versions.
 
Minsc said:

Yep. I registered by D2 keys and have it installed on my PC and my Mac. Blizzard are cool that way.

EDIT: Beat'd. Doh!

You have to click on the blue '?' to get the 26 CD-key

Can we install the game from our discs and then register our CD-keys online for future redownloading if our CDs break, or do we have to download the online version? Is the DD version different than the CD version?
 
Is there any way to change the language?

I pressed the wrong language when I registered one of my d2-keys. Now I cant seem to change it, and I cannot remove it. Tried registering a new d2-key, but it told me to register it on another account since I already had one registered.

I registered all of my CDs at the online store and now I can download them whenever I want.

The DD versions of the game seem to be different. Different meaning that I can't download D2 , install, and then try to use LoD CD. LoD won't recongnize that D2 is even installed.

You have 2 D2 keys?

I wouldn't even bother installing from disc if you don't already have it installed. DD=NOCD means it is automatically better.

This is actually from personal experience. I have SC installed on my PC and after I registered it thought "Hmm.. I should go back and play a couple of games" only to be met with "Please insert SC CD"........ yeah......... needless to say it go removed from my PC there and then and I started the DD version download.

Zzoram said:

I have 3 legit SC keys. SC from release. SC from losing my original SC CD (was probably $20). And SC Anthology from losing the replacement CD plus Brood War which I never bought, all for $15.

I was contemplating buying the D2 Battle Chest (for LoD and D1) which would mean I'd have two D2 keys as well. However I may forego the strat guides and D1 and just pickup LoD for $10 at Gamestop.

The DD version is superior to the CD version as it includes all the patches up to and including 1.12A and doesn't require you to do any mucking about with MPQ files. You have to use the DD version with the DD keys though, your 16-character CD key gets converted into a new format one which can be viewed by clicking that "[View Game Key]" link.

Diablo I was great in it's day, and is still great if you forgive the slow walk speed and the fact that there's no way to turn off friendly fire on spells :lol

Ah, okay. Thanks. Does this mean our previous CD-key is now invalidated? This way we can't have two copies of the game?

How are we supposed to not lose the 26-character new cd-key? Do we just write it down and hope we don't lose the paper?
